Two thieves broke into a house, stealing two Playstations, video games, and DVDs. They then did what many other criminals do to get rid of stolen items: take them to a pawn shop. Only these thieves ran into one small problem: The owner was the one the thieves stole from.

The police were called, and they were arrested for aggravated burglary.

Fortunately for the rest of society, most criminals tend not to be members of Mensa.

Note to these burglars; find another line of work.

You can't help stupid. I'm glad the guy got his stuff back and I hope these jerks will be made an example of and be sent to jail.

I love these stories.

A year or so ago I heard about a bank-teller lady that had someone come in and try to cash a check using the tellers own stolen checks lol.

We had a genius here that robbed a bank and used one of his own deposit slips as the note he passed to the teller.
